Shattered Life: Chapter 4: Truth Hurts

[A/N: Has a part similar to the fight between Ephram and Amy in the episode "Blind Faith"]

Katrina's POV

I walked stiffly down the halls as everyone stared at every inch of my body with ferocious eyes! I wanted to run and escape but it's impossible. It's like I feel like I'm running but I'm really not. I'm running from everything! All my problems and dreams and I can't seem to stop! Where is someone when I need help!

"Help me! Help me!" I screamed while Ephram shaked me awake in trigonometry class. I looked up. Everyone was starring at me again and it scared me. "Stay away from me!" I said getting my stuff and running out the door. I ran down the hall shaking uncontrollable. I found a wall and sat by it. It was the only thing that was preventing me from falling. I needed something to stop everything instantly and just rewind everything to when my mom was alive and helping me get through my fu**ed up life!

I heard someone coming down the hall. I looked up to see Ephram coming. I turned away trying to make it look like I didn't want him here. He sat down next to me. For a minute we just sat there in silence, thinking about nothing but each other and what just happened.

"Want to talk about it?" He asked starring at his feet then at me.

"Not really..." I said trying to sound like there wasn't anything wrong.

"Okay...you want me to stay here?" He asked looking up at the wall in front of him.

"Yeah...please?" I asked wanting someone next to me to make me feel wanted or loved or something because right now I was feeling anything.

"Sure."

"Thanks." I said looking over at him and him looking at me. He looked away, so did I. We sat there together quietly connecting with each other in some way.

Later...

Ephram POV

"So what are you doing tonight?" I asked Amy as she got stuff out of her locker.

"Nothing...why?" She said closing her locker and looking at me.

"Well... I was just wondering if you wanted to do anything tonight?" I asked her nervously.

"I don't know, Ephram." She said looking like she was confused.

"Well...I mean I don't care I was just wondering..." I said looking at her honestly, even though I did really care.

"I'm sorry Ephram it's just when I'm around you...I'm reminded of all these things that I don't want to remember...and...yeah..." She said looking down at her feet.

"Oh."

"Don't take it the wrong way Ephram...it's just..."

"Well it's a little hard not to take it the wrong way Amy! I mean everytime I try to do something with you, you turn me down like I'm nothing to you!" I said anger filling my throat.

"That's not true Ephram!" She snapped back looking at me with this forgiving look.

"It is true! And you know it you just don't want to come out and say it! Even though you already do in so many words!" I said yelling at her.

"Ephram!" She said in her your not being fair voice'.

"You know what I'm done okay...leave me alone because I give up!" I said turning away and walking out the door.

"Ephram! Ephram! Don't do this please!" Amy cried after me.
